New handbook is available here as a pet package.
It warns if you try to install the pet package
while mtpaint is running. Quit mtpaint and try again.
Note that Slacko and tahrpup do not allow the second install
of the same pet package so un-install procedure is needed.

Note: This version works properly on a wide variety of Puppies
however DO NOT use it on Lighthouse 503
because of an incompatibility with libjpeg
nor on Scottman's Akita which doesn't use the Jasper library
for advanced jpeg handling.

I compiled mtpaint using puppy431.

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr intl

Versions beyond 3.44.20 are not really stable yet.
I'm now rewriting the GUI in a toolkit-agnostic bytecode, which keeps getting changed as situation demands; and in the process, one little detail or another may get overlooked till chanced upon later (happened twice now).
It would be helpful if the latest versions had someone other than myself testing them, to find out what (if anything) stopped working as intended in the newly-rewritten dialogs. But still, these versions are a bit more beta-quality than usual, not yet ready to be unleashed onto unsuspecting regular users.

a feature I really hope can be implemented in mtpaint is the ability to save tiff images with g4 compression, any time in past I tried to save a tiff image, after converting the colorspace from RGB to INDEXED, (2 colors: black and white), the result was always a LZW compressed tiff (not g4)_________________replace .co.cc with .info to get access to stuff I posted in forum
